Iraq Says Will Settle Iran Gas Debts in Two Days

Earlier this month, the electricity ministry said Iran had reduced five million cubic meters of the gas it exports to the Arab neighbor, resulting in hours of power cuts

Iraq's Ministry of Electricity announced on Tuesday that it will settle its gas dues to Iran within two days.
Ahmed Musa, the ministry spokesman, made the statement in an interview with Iraqi News Agency.
“We announce today that the dues [to Iran] for 2020 will be paid within two days in accordance with the approved contexts to prevent a decrease in the quantity of gas flowing to Iraq,” he was quoted as saying.
Musa indicated that the gas dues crisis has exacerbated through previous governments, but the current Iraqi government is taking responsibility to solve it.
